Ontario BS Thread

I buy 6 cans of fluid film and do it myself. It contains lanolin; what all the australian guys use. They face relatively tough salt conditions when they go out to the coast and drive on the beaches. Their top product is lanolin based

 

PATIENTLY waiting for @Norilsk to send me that message!!!! lol

 

Update on the alignment thing.
Well its now good enough for the girls I go out with. Thanks for offer to help. Much appreciated.

 

Looks good!

 

Just quick and dirty for now.
Thanks.

 

As long as it works. Assuming the bison tabs use the stock bolts. The poly ones use some big ass grade 8 bolts. Don’t know which is better. Not fun to cut a grade 8 bolt out that’s for sure.

 

This might be the way to go.

It a gives me a headache

That’s the marlin gussets which @norlisk and @tgelata have. Allows you to weld them in technically without dropping the lca. I have to total chaos ones. They are similar to what you did with the weld seem but just beefier material. They don’t brace the frame however.

 

I’ve got those, still bent them

 

I just did this for the first time and was able to complete it with 4 cans. First cleaned the whole under body by hand to get out all the Ardbeg junk, let it dry over night and hit it with Fluid Film on a 16C day. Was definitely hoping for a warmer day to help the creep.

 

Finally got some decent rubber put on yesterday. I'm liking the new look.

 

Another MT pilot!

Nice truck, I'm biased

 

I have them. Do yourself a favour and take the LCA’s off. I did it with mine still on working on jack stands and it sucked big time.
It would also be way easier to get tools in for cleaning up the frame and for welding

 

I see an ARB bumper and i assume its one of us

 

FYI the yellow zinc plating on generic hardware store-grade 8 bolts aren't as good as Toyota's plating. Douse them in cosmoline or they'll turn into this after 2-3 winters:

 

45 seconds later the door was closed... couldnt have waited? lol that was a fun run, my fat ass truck made it up there in 2wd drive and there were some small rock walls

 

Whats that off of?

 

Those were 1/2" grade 8 bolts off my previous front bumper.

When I removed the sliders from my previous truck (installed for 3 years), 8 of the 14 bolts snapped off. They were all 1/2" grade 8 yellow zinc plated.

When I moved the sliders to my current truck, I spent $55 at Fastenal for stainless hardware.

 

Got my new Duratracs mounted yesterday too! Last set was still legal at 97,000km....(good for 80,000)
